Artists under the Rebirth of the Coal Boss

Chapter 21 Our crew has a very positive atmosphere

Lin Xingzhuo brought the girl who was gnawing on roast chicken to the dining car in the middle of the green train.

I ordered the most expensive braised pork ribs, a plate of shredded pork with green peppers, a portion of stir-fried seasonal vegetables, a bowl of winter melon and pork ribs soup, and two bowls of white rice.

Lin Xingzhuo drank a bowl of pork rib soup, picked up some shredded pork with green peppers, and ate half a bowl of rice.

Next is to enjoy this sister's online eating performance...

…………

After the girl finished eating, she took out a pack of napkins and wiped her mouth. She looked at the ordinary-looking boy in front of her and the mess on the table, and said with a slightly red face:
"Hello, my name is Haiqing."

"Thank you, I'm so sorry."

"Yesterday at noon, I treated my friends to a Wangpin Formosa steak. I sold too much blood, and the remaining money was only enough for travel expenses. I didn't eat for three meals, so I wanted to eat a little longer..."

Haiqing also felt that his reasons were too outrageous and was a little embarrassed to continue.

Lin Xingzhuo nodded seriously: "Indeed, those black-hearted blood stations don't even provide bread after blood is drawn."

"However, you still have to be careful next time. The needles at these blood collection sites are recycled, so they're not clean..."

Hai Qing never expected that this boy with a very nice voice actually believed what he said?!
…………

Even though I was telling the truth.

But after Haiqing got carried away yesterday and sold his blood to treat his friends to steak, he now feels that what he did was a bit too crazy and outrageous...

If two days ago, a stranger told me that he had sold blood to treat his friends to a meal and couldn't afford lunch, and fainted from hunger...

I would definitely think that the other person is a liar who is trying to get free food and drinks.

…………

Hai Qing asked tentatively, "Um... do you believe it?"

Lin Xingzhuo cleaned up the remaining half bowl of white rice and asked, "Did you lie to me?"

"Of course not, I'm telling the truth!"

Hai Qing excitedly began to unbutton his gray-blue striped shirt, revealing the white T-shirt underneath. Through the thin T-shirt fabric, his curves were outlined...

The national daughter-in-law is hiding a weapon!

…………

Lin Xingzhuo was also confused this time.

No, sister, what are you doing?
Calm down!!

Although, I knew you were very emotional in my previous life, I never thought it would reach this point...

Hai Qing showed the needle marks on his arm, which were still bruised with light yellow, and said, "Look!"

"I should have known better than to try to be so brave. I didn't expect blood drawing to be so painful... But the steak was delicious..."

"Woooooooo..."

Haiqing had taken off half of his shirt, exposing his arms, and now he suddenly started crying, attracting the attention of the diners in the dining car.

"It's okay, it's okay, don't cry, put your shirt on first and tell me... I really believe you."

This sister is really extremely emotional!!
No wonder it has contributed so many famous scenes in domestic entertainment...

…………

As for selling blood to treat friends to steak, that's actually true...

In 2009, 30-year-old Hai Qing was at the lowest point in her career. Last year, her annual output of film and television works was zero, and she had no work to film for thirteen consecutive months.

Due to financial constraints, but wanting to treat friends to a meal, keep in touch, and secure more acting opportunities, he ultimately decided to sell blood in exchange for meal money and treat them to steak...

........................

The next morning, when express train No. 1461 arrived at Hongqiao Station, Lin Xingzhuo bought two 10-yuan breakfast sets, which included porridge, eggs, steamed buns, and Yuquan pickles, and gave one to Haiqing.

After today's emotional outburst, Hai Qing, with tears in her eyes, became more reserved. She gnawed on a steamed bun and took the initiative to say:
"Thank you... Xingzhuo, let's add each other's contact information. I'll return the money for these two meals to you once my filming pay arrives."

Lin Xingzhuo said, "Okay."

The two exchanged phone numbers and added each other on QQ.

Hai Qing used disposable chopsticks to pick up some pickled vegetables and stuffed them into a white steamed bun. He ate the bun in a few bites and started peeling an egg. He asked, "Xing Zhuo, are you studying in Shanghai?"

Lin Xingzhuo drank his porridge, thinking about his earth-shattering acting skills, and said a little embarrassedly: "Actually, I'm an actor." Hai Qing saw Lin Xingzhuo's shyness and guessed that he was an extra from Shanghai, so he handed the peeled egg to Lin Xingzhuo and said:
"Once I've established myself in the crew, I'll try to get you a small special contract..."

Lin Xingzhuo ate the boiled eggs peeled by the sea cucumber and said, "Thank you, sister."

…………

At nine o'clock in the morning, the train arrived at Hongqiao Railway Station.

Haiqing carried her bag and went to squeeze into the bus, and Lin Xingzhuo called her agent Ding Ye.

According to the address provided by Ding Ye, they went to the crew's permanent hotel, the Wujiaochang Hyatt Hotel at Jiangwan Stadium.

Jiangwan Stadium is the core hub for extras in Shanghai to get roles. Many extras wait at Exit 2 of the Jiangwan Stadium subway station. Every morning, the group leaders come with loud speakers to recruit people...

Lin Xingzhuo booked a room at the Home Inn opposite the Hyatt Hotel in Wujiaochang, and following the contact information given by Ding Ye, he called Cao Dun, who was in charge of actor recruitment for the crew of "Home Sweet Home".

…………

According to Ding Ye, this role was introduced by his sister-in-law Shen Mojun through her relationship with the executive dean of the Shanghai Theatre Academy.

When the dean was still the head of the department, Shen Mojun became good friends with him. They even went on a ten-day tour of Japan together and spent a lot of money at the Ginza Host Club.

However, safety is the first priority when traveling in the world, and you should also buy insurance if you have connections.

According to Ding Ye’s instructions on the phone.

Lin Xingzhuo went to the First Aeon Mall, bought two triple-gun cigarettes, and took them to visit the executive director Cao Dun.

…………

At night, Lin Xingzhuo took the fire escape behind the Wujiaochang Hyatt Hotel and arrived at Room 1109 where Executive Director Cao Dun was.

A pure-looking girl came out of room 1109, holding a script in her hand, adjusted her hair and dress, and took the elevator downstairs.

Lin Xingzhuo found that the other person looked familiar...

Ok?
Isn't this the person Ai Shangzhen mentioned before? She's the vice president of the Shanghai Conservatory of Music's drama club, and a popular contestant in the 2009 Miss China Universe pageant, the Shanghai division...

…………

Ding Dong!Ding Dong!
When Lin Xingzhuo rang the doorbell, he could clearly hear the sound of people packing things.

"Who?!"

"Director Cao, this is Xiaolin from Tiger Shadow Starlight. I called you during the day."

After hearing Lin Xingzhuo's words, the sound of things being packed up in the room stopped abruptly. Two minutes later, Executive Director Cao Dun, who was wearing messy clothes, opened the door with a frown.

When he saw Lin Xingzhuo carrying a bag of three-packs of Sanpaotai cigarettes, his expression relaxed a little and he let Lin Xingzhuo into the room.

The hotel room was filled with the scent of women's perfume and the stench of men's sexual life, mixed with the smell of cigarettes and alcohol...

The overturned coffee table and wooden chair legs, the purple lace panties hanging on the lamp stand, the clothes and documents were scattered in every corner of the room like an explosion.

Cao Dun lifted up two chairs and motioned for Lin Xingzhuo to sit down. He explained wearily, "The girl you saw in the elevator just now is a student from the drama club of the Shencheng Conservatory of Music."

"I'm the specially invited academic advisor for the Drama Club of the Shanghai Conservatory of Music. Drama is about liberating one's nature..."

Seeing Cao Dun being so frank and honest, Lin Xingzhuo didn't know what to say for a moment...

…………

According to the chat with Ai Shangzhen on QQ on the mobile phone.

The vice president of the drama club of the Conservatory of Music failed to be selected in the Shanghai competition area.

There are also a lot of people who volunteered to be water armies on Tianya, Mop, and Renren to speak out for her, and she was hailed as the "hidden pearl" of the 2009 Miss Chinese Universe Pageant.

As a result, you post online for the goddess, typing away on your keyboard until smoke comes out and beating cyber drums to protest your injustice.

In real life, people hit their stocks and stand up to kick.

…………

Lin Xingzhuo and Cao Dun had a few awkward chats.

Cao Dun felt that this artist from Tiger Film Star had a distinctive voice, but his speech was very dull and wooden, and he didn't know how to deal with things. If it weren't for the face of the Shanghai Theatre Academy leader, he really didn't want to give him the fourth supporting role.

Although it is difficult to refuse directly, it is still necessary to give them a warning.

Cao Dun glanced at the two cigarette bags and said, "Xiao Lin, our crew has a very positive atmosphere. This kind of thing..."
